Week Ahead Zodiac Guidance
Manila, PH | 5th May 2025 - 11th May 2025
Welcome to your Week Ahead Zodiac Guidance, a bite-sized look at the coming days broken down by your Astrological Zodiac (Sun) Sign.
This might be the most succinct weekly horoscope I’ve written all year! Leave it to Taurus Season — the first Earth sign of the astrological year — to give us a bit more sacred stillness and space to just be. In a world hell-bent on optimization and over-functioning, Taurus offers the opulence of peace and stillness.
Some passionate fire and intellectual chemistry lights up May 6 to complement the earthy sensuality of Taurus Season, thanks to Venus in Aries sextiling Pluto in Aquarius. Because Venus went retrograde in Aries, this is actually the third and final Venus-Pluto sextile with Aries. The first two were February 7 and March 21. If May 6 “rhymes” with those two dates, notice what you’re being asked to identify and implement, especially around the theme of protecting autonomy within community. Aries teaches us the value of standing alone when groupthink or the status quo doesn’t match who we are. This is a time to integrate some of that Aries warrior energy with Aquarius’ vision of collective care. Which friendships support your differentiation? Which friends need your support as they differentiate? How can you put just enough space in your dynamics so that platonic intimacy doesn’t slip into enmeshment?
Then on May 10, Mercury enters Taurus until May 26. In line with Taurus’ themes of stillness, gratitude, and inner peace, this transit may inspire you to lower the volume on life’s noise and distractions, and reconnect with the present moment as enough. I know, I know — quite a tall order these days. But this is a transit that helps you do less, be more, need less, have more, say yes less, and say no more, all so you can create space to appreciate all the gifts we often miss when we’re moving too fast.
Read on for divine guidance based on your Astrological Zodiac (Sun) Signs.
Aries • March 21 – April 19
Venus-Pluto Sextile on May 6: Friend, lover, or both?
Mercury enters Taurus on May 10: Identify and implement your values!
Make your friendships more romantic and your romances more friendly, Aries. As queer people, while it’s common to integrate the best of friendship and romance, it bears repeating — especially under the Venus-Pluto sextile on May 6. How can you bring the best of romance to your friendships and more levity to your romantic relationships? It’ll help you stay adaptable and even sexier because you’re not gripping too tightly. Then, Mercury enters Taurus on May 10 until the 26, giving you belated birthday cash and opportunities to generate more personal safety by clarifying your values and committing to them behaviorally. Financial ease is great, but real security comes from alignment. You are who you say you are, because your actions keep proving it.
Taurus • April 20 – May 20
Venus-Pluto Sextile on May 6: Transformation is found in trust.
Mercury enters Taurus on May 10: Say what you mean, gently and clearly.
What do you need in order to feel seen, Taurus? The Venus-Pluto sextile on May 6 activates your Aries-ruled closure zone and Aquarius-ruled career sector, revealing how private transformation affects your public visibility. You’re holding something sacred; let it influence how you lead. In love, give voice to a deeper truth that’s been simmering. You’re not the same person you were in February or March, and that deserves to be reflected in your intimacy. Then Mercury enters your sign on May 10, helping you articulate what you’ve been processing internally. You’ll want to share more about who you’re becoming and who you want to be, not from a place of persuasion or defensiveness, but with a tone of “I just thought you might like to know this is who I am now.”
Gemini • May 21 – June 20
Venus-Pluto Sextile on May 6: Who shapes your sense of belonging?
Mercury enters Taurus on May 10: Quiet your mind and trust the message.
Who are your people now, Gemini? The Venus-Pluto sextile on May 6 activates your Aries-ruled friendship zone and Aquarius-ruled belief sector. This is a week to reflect on how your chosen community has shaped your truth — and how your evolving truth is shaping your community. If someone shows you they can’t meet you where you’re going, believe them. Mercury enters Taurus on May 10, shifting you into a quieter mental space. Slow down. Not everything needs to be said or solved. You’ll learn more in stillness than in conversation this week. Let your body speak too; rest when you can. Profound wisdom lives in your most receptive, quiet thoughts so your intuition can guide you where intellect sometimes can’t.
Cancer • June 21 – July 22
Venus-Pluto Sextile on May 6: Visibility wants courage.
Mercury enters Taurus on May 10: Let your people in.
What are you ready to be recognized for, Cancer? The Venus-Pluto sextile on May 6 activates your Aries-ruled reputation zone and Aquarius-ruled intimacy zone. You’re being asked to step into greater visibility without giving up emotional honesty. Show the world who you really are. On May 10, Mercury enters your Taurus-ruled friendship zone, helping you reconnect with people who make you feel safe, creative, and supported. Say yes to group chats, catch-ups, or even unexpected collaboration. Let yourself be witnessed in your full humanity. You don’t have to be overfunctioning or solving everyone’s problems to be deeply loved. Start by sharing your voice and letting others meet you where you are. Your very “being” is all that’s needed and wanted.
Leo • July 23 – August 22
Venus-Pluto Sextile on May 6: Love asks for a leap of faith.
Mercury enters Taurus on May 10: Speak from grounded confidence.
You’re on the edge of expansion, Leo. The Venus-Pluto sextile on May 6 activates your Aries-ruled wisdom zone and Aquarius-ruled partnership sector. A relationship may be inviting you to think bigger, love harder, or show up more fully. Say yes if it aligns. Let risk-taking and trust lead you forward. Then Mercury enters your Taurus-ruled purpose zone on May 10, sharpening your clarity in professional and public spaces. If you’ve been hesitant to speak up or step forward, this is the transit to reclaim your voice. You know more than you think. Show the world what you’re working on — and what you stand for. Your courage teaches others how to lead with both passion and purpose.
Virgo • August 23 – September 22
Venus-Pluto Sextile on May 6: You deserve more honest relationships.
Mercury enters Taurus on May 10: Let wanderlust and curiosity be your guides!
How much of your love life is based on assumption, Virgo? The Venus-Pluto sextile on May 6 connects your Aries-ruled intimacy sector and Aquarius-ruled habits and healing zone. You’re ready for more honesty, not unmet expectations, upsets, or passive aggression. Agreements, not ambiguity. This isn’t about controlling the outcome, but about naming your desires with maturity. Then, Mercury enters your Taurus-ruled education and expansion zone on May 10. It’s time to study something that nourishes you, that opens you back up to hope, optimism, and faith. Read something beautiful. Go on an adventure. Let someone teach you something without trying to master it right away. You learn best through experience this week, especially when you’re open to joy, not just optimizations.
Libra • September 23 – October 22
Venus-Pluto Sextile on May 6: Romance wants more truth.
Mercury enters Taurus on May 10: Say what needs to change.
You’re ready for something deeper, Libra. The Venus-Pluto sextile on May 6 links your Aries-ruled relationship zone and Aquarius-ruled pleasure sector, encouraging you to bring more truth into your love life, even if it changes how you’re perceived as the chill, polite, “don’t need anything” friend. So please don’t assume your partners or your friends know what you want. Speak it. Then, Mercury enters your Taurus-ruled intimacy and transformation zone on May 10, giving you the words for things you thought you couldn’t name out loud. This is about revealing what’s sacred to you: what scares you, what moves you, and what helps you feel safe. If you want more from your relationships, ask. Let your vulnerability invite more care and trust not your worst case scenarios.
Scorpio • October 23 – November 21

I’ve heard it said that when Sagittarius walks into a room, so does the truth and this week is no exception. Then, Mercury enters your Taurus-ruled wellness and routine zone on May 10. Time to simplify your systems and get honest about what’s working. Build a daily rhythm that prioritizes peace, rest, nourishment, and pleasure. Not for perfection. For peace. For beauty which helps you rest. What happens when you let your days be quieter — and more yours?
